3. PARAPET/GLAZING

The choice of parapet/glazing determines how the balcony is perceived and functions inside and out. In addition to high quality, all our options offer gently rounded profiles and the absence of unnecessary metal parts, rivets and sealant. We also secure the parapet cladding to the front edge of the bottom profile, giving you a balcony about 100 mm deeper. All the parapets have built-in fixings for Balco’s window boxes just below the sturdy rail.
A. INCLUDED BALCO SIGHT

The stand-out feature of this option is the built-in viewing window below the track.

From inside: When sitting down and relaxing, you can still keep an eye on the outside world, thanks to the low viewing window.

From outside:
Option of choosing the material in the viewing window and the lower parapet. Balco Sight comes with laminate cladding as standard for the lower part, but a large range of other materials are also available.

B. OPTION BALCO AIR

This option has larger windows to give even more air and space.

From inside:
This option allows you to open up a larger part of the balcony. A handrail outside the glass panes means that you can lean out comfortably and safely.

From outside: The low parapet and large windows give a huge expanse of glass. Just like Balco Sight, Balco Air comes with laminate cladding as standard in the lower part of the parapet. A wide range of other materials are also available.

C. OPTION BALCO SPACE

The whole front, with its full-height windows, is placed beyond the balcony floor and your choice of railing is fitted outside.

From inside: You can hardly get a stronger feeling of being outdoors – and the panes easily fold inwards for cleaning.

From outside:
The opportunity to create unique railing solutions. With this option, a large amount of water has to be led away from each storey, so Balco Space must be combined with our unique drainage system Balco CleanLine® to avoid leakage.
 
 
D. OPTION BALCO VISION

Balco Vision™ combined with a folding glass system without a frame gives the impression of a single expanse of glass.

From inside:
Gives you a light outdoor room with open views – no window frames or corner posts.

From outside:
A folding glass system without a frame, combined with glass corners, gives the impression of a single expanse of glass.

Can only be combined with the Balco BaseLine drainage system, coupled with folding glass, either with or without frame.
SUPPLEMENTARY GLAZING
Perhaps your property already has a stable balcony with an existing parapet and railings? Adding glazing is a fantastically easy way of converting an open balcony into a comfortable outdoor room. Adding glazing can also be a great option if you decide to renovate your balconies in stages. Contact us to find out more.
